Okay.

        I have a Gateway E3000 (?) at work with The Absolutely Hateful
Windows NT on it (Pentium 200MMX).

        I'd like to blow away NT and replace it with Linux and
...sigh...Windows 95 (I know, I know, but we're a Microsoft shop, and I
*need* it.)

        The PC has a 3.2Gb hard drive.  What I'd like to do is use about
half for 95 and half for Linux.  I'd also like to use Lilo.

        I know abut the <1024 cylinder thingie.  Does this make any sense:
create a 10-20Mb partition for the Linux kernel (and Lilo?), then about a
gig-and-a-half partition for 95, then the rest for Linux?  Am I correct in
assuming that as long as the kernel is before cyl. 1024, the rest of Linux
doesn't care where it is?

        That 95 is going to be a problem, though, I betcha.  How much is
it going to hate being on a drive other than C:?

        I'm sure youall have lots of better ideas, so let me hear them!
I discovered quickly that Linux folk LOVE sharing.

        Thanks in advance.

Bob
